Description:
This lively and atmospheric watercolour by British artist John Steane (b.1931) captures the seafront of Worthing, a classic British seaside town on the West Sussex coast. In the foreground, bright green timber groynes stretch diagonally across the pebbled beach, their seaweed-stained surfaces glowing against the stormy sky. Above, a parade of elegant Edwardian buildings—including Worthing’s iconic domed Pavilion Theatre—line the esplanade, lending the piece a strong architectural rhythm and a nostalgic feel.
Steane’s composition draws the eye from the texture-rich shore to the dramatic sweep of the promenade, where strolling figures and distant dogs animate the space. The painting is signed and dated 1973, placing it during a time when traditional English seaside towns were experiencing social change and renewed artistic interest.
Worthing, known for its Regency and Edwardian seafront architecture, has long been a favourite among artists and writers, including Oscar Wilde and Harold Pinter. This work evokes the enduring charm and faded grandeur of its promenade and beach defences, and offers a snapshot of British coastal life in transition.
Ideal for collectors interested in British seaside towns, architectural painting, or 20th-century watercolours. Its mix of historical detail, dynamic composition, and evocative palette make it a standout example of Steane’s coastal work.
